Goodbye #1
Hey there Constant Reader-
If you’ve been watching this blog lately, you’ve noticed a few things:
1.) It is infrequently updated. (not really news, I realize)
2.) I keep talking about how it’s going to shut down soon.
3.) I am randomly adding features, while other features go unfixed. The “Japhy” logo has remained obscured by the Blogger bar for months now, I know.
4.) I am very pretty.
Well folks, it’s happening. This is not the LAST post ever on Japhyjunket (that’ll be on January 31st of next year, killing my baby on its third birthday), but it’s one of the last. How come, you ask? Well- a few reasons.: I’ve been awfully busy, editing all day long in my day job as Editor-In-Chief of Cybersocket Web Magazine and then go home and work on scripts and also, I want to end Japhyjunket before I get bored with it.
So what happens now? Well, the irony here is that you’re going to get more of me than ever.
I’m just not telling you where yet.
When the dust settles I will edit and write on a few different blogs, which I will be sharing with other very talented writers. This means no more sitting around for two weeks waiting for me to post. In addition I’ve decided it’d be fun to do the kind of blog that I always bitch about: where I talk about my day, update whenever, do my best vividblurry imitation (though with less porn and bitchiness). I’ll update that site whenever I damn please and of course will probably do far better than any of the carefully planned out ventures I’m working on now.
Japhyjunket will be edited, revised and cleaned up and will probably be published in print in some form or another.
Thanks to everyone who encouraged me over the years. Japhyjunket was my playground, sandbox and therapist’s office all in one. Now, it’s time for the big leagues.

New York Opening Worth Seeing
If you’re in the NYU area tonight, check out my pal John Movius’ show ” Sight Range: Photographs and Stories from Soldiers of Desert Storm.” It looks to be a winner. Movius spent the past year meeting with veterans across the country, interviewing them and taking their portraits. Combined with the soldiers own personal photographs, the result is a humane and intimate view of America’s fighting force. The show opens tonight, in Tisch School’s Gulf & Western Gallery (rear of lobby) located at 721 Broadway and remains on view through January 8th, 2005. The reception tonight is from 5-7pm. Gallery hours are 10 am through 7 pm weekdays, and noon to 5 pm Saturdays. Admission is free. For further information, call 212.998.1930, or visit Tisch Photography.
The gallery show innagurates John’s larger project— Regarding War, which aims to be online repository of amateur photos of war zones. Check out the beginnings of it here.
